Weathering the Seasons, Shaping the Future

July swept in under a blaze of sunshine – just long enough to lull us into thoughts of hot beach days and sizzling barbecues, before the skies opened in almost perfect synchrony with the start of the school summer holidays. And if the old proverb proves true, the sudden downpour on St. Swithin’s day may have sealed our fate to forty days (and nights) of rainy days. 

While we might have found ourselves swapping sunhats for umbrellas and flip-flops for wellington boots, we’re reminded that neither rain or folklore is a stranger to the ancient and verdant countryside of West Wales. It’s all part of our rich heritage – a landscape shaped as much by weather as by history.   

Yet beyond the scenery, what truly defines us is our resilience and commitment. Come rain or shine we continue to support and shape our communities – locally and nationally – in ways that are both meaningful and modern in today’s world.   

And much like the seasons, our work never stands still.    

👥 Our Workforce in Action: July Highlights

Despite unpredictable weather, one thing has remained constant – the dedication of our engineers and project teams. From seamless office relocations to complex software migrations, our team have been hard at work behind the scenes to keep businesses connected, secure, and running smoothly.

🌐 Keeping Businesses Connected and up to Speed 

This month, we’ve delivered super-fast internet connections and upgraded Wi-Fi systems to eliminate dead zones and improve performance to  ensure our clients stay online and productive – wherever they are.

💻 Upgrading Devices & Workspaces

To ensure our clients have the tools they need to work efficiently, we’re continuing to replace older servers, computers and workstations with faster, more reliable and secure devices. Our teams have upgraded security systems –  installed CCTV – and tidied up cabling with new cabinets following a major refurbishment project – creating more efficient workspaces.

☁️ Moving to the Cloud

Cloud technology is transforming the way businesses operate. We’ve supported multiple clients in migrating to Microsoft 365, enabling smarter collaboration through Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams – ensuring the transition is smooth, secure and stress-free.

🔐 Cyber Security in Focus

Protecting clients from online threats is a top priority. Our Cyber Security Team has been proactively identifying software vulnerabilities, decommissioning outdated hardware, and conducting Cyber Essentials and PCI compliance assessments to keep our clients protected.

🔧 Behind-the-Scenes Support

Some of our most impactful work happens out of sight. From supplying critical network and communications equipment to supporting complex IT transitions, our teams have been working to improve performance and reliability – with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.

📍 Looking Ahead

Whether you’re planning an office move, upgrading devices, or exploring cloud solutions, we’re here to help, with smart, secure and future ready IT Support.

🍬 Sweet Partnerships That Deliver Real Value

This month, we were surprised and delighted by a thoughtful (and delicious) delivery from our new partners at Inforcer

The beautifully boxed selection of cupcakes, featuring both our logos, is the kind of gesture that reflects our strong collaborations with organisations who share our values (and sometimes, our sweet tooth). 

But beyond sweet treats, Inforcer delivers something far more valuable for our clients – by improving transparency and compliance across Microsoft 365 it helps to build trust – automatically identifying, classifying, and protecting sensitive information across systems. That means less manual work, stronger governance, and peace of mind. 

Whether you’re working to meet GDPR, ISO standards, or safeguarding sensitive information, we’re pleased to collaborate with partners who not only share our values but actively help us to support yours.  

🚴‍ Supporting Local Talent in a Summer of Sport

With sports fever sweeping the nation, and the Tour de France in full swing, it’s hard to escape the excitement in July. There’s something undeniably inspiring about witnessing peak performance and stoic dedication.  

At BCC IT, we’re proud to support emerging athletes closer to home – young talent whose passion and determination remind us of the power of perseverance and community spirit.   

This month’s sponsorship spotlight series was timed perfectly to feature rising cycling star Lowri Richards, whose journey and achievements are nothing short of motivational. Lowri is one to watch and we’re honoured to support her as she continues to pursue her goals. You can read the full article here to discover more about Lowri and find out what she’s doing this July that adds a whole new layer to a journey that’s already impressive.

From navigating rain-soaked summer days, to supporting complex cloud migrations, July has reminded us that progress happens in both the everyday and the extraordinary.
